I've been searching loads of things about hackintosh and stuff everywhere but I couldn't find the answer for this..
My case seems to be so odd!

What I want to do is install Mountain Lion in the same drive as Windows 7 is installed (in a different partition obviously) and have dual boot with both.
I don't want to reinstall Windows or format anything in the drive (I already got a partition separated for Mountain Lion that can be formatted of whatever needed).
My disk is MBR and I'm using it in RAID with an SSD using the "Intel Smart Response Technology" (only for Windows, I suppose), and my MOBO has UEFI.
Another thing is that I don't have a Mac to use and prepare the USB drive (I'd prefer to install it from a USB drive).
(If REALLY necessary I can get to use my friend's Mac as a last resort..)

Have you read my question entirely?
Is not only about installing Mountain Lion in the drive as Windows 7...
I've googled that and MILLIONS of other things and there always seems to be a problem with my setup, the way I want it...
Just so you know, I ALWAYS try to figure things out by myself reading other people's posts, but this is a real problem.. (specially cause I don't have Mac experience)..
It is the second time in my entire computer life that I get to post something...

Anyway.. If I just ignore some of those issues (such as MBR and RAID) and try to install it straight away, will it work?
What can I use to dual boot in a system with UEFI?
I don't wanna screw things up here..

If this is your first attempt, I second that you should do it on two driver instead of with partitions. You could easily lose your Windows installation if you do something wrongly. MBR isn't an issue, just patch the installer for MBR installations.

How are you using RAID, as a true array, or just SSD boot cache? Chameleon can boot UEFI but it's a multi step boot, while Clover can use EFI boot. Read the thread for far better explanation http://www.insanelym...2787-clover-v2/
